Daikin recently held a 100th anniversary ceremony in Osaka (Japan). The 2,000 attendees in the event included guests of honour, advisors, business partners, as well as employees from the Daikin Group in Japan and abroad.
Founded in Osaka (Japan) in 1924, parent company Daikin Industries, global market leader in air conditioning, heating, ventilation and refrigeration solutions (HVAC-R) is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2024. This celebration comes on the heels of the 50th anniversary last year of subsidiary company Daikin Europe, which has been leading the HVAC-R industry in Europe, the Middle East and Africa region since 1973.
Reflecting on the company’s growth at the ceremony, Noriyuki Inoue, Chairman of the Board and Chief Global Group Officer, Daikin, said, “From a small factory of 15 people at our founding, we have transformed Daikin into a global company with operations in more than 170 countries worldwide, and I am personally mindful of just how far we have come. With the spirit of learning from the past and applying those lessons to the future, we would like to further refine our technological capabilities, which are the lifeline for a manufacturer, and contribute to society through our technology.”
